Don't Expect Instant Miracles from President Trump on January 20

And on the seventh day God had finished his work of creation
FDR had his 100 days
JFK had 1,000 days
President Obama spent 8 years transforming America to his vision
And now many expect instant miracles from the GOP Congress and President Trump on January 20.
A sweep of his pen stroke and all will be undone
Would it were so simple!
The Obama legacy is a combination of statutes. executive orders, agency dictates, regulatory agency rules and regulations, and administrative discretion
A partial list includes
ObamaCare
Dodd Frank
The War on Coal
The War on Fossil Fuels
The War on Police
Paris Accords
EPA’s jurisdictional statement of “waters of the United States”
Keystone Pipeline
North Dakota Pipeline
National Monuments designations in Nevada and Utah
Ban on offshore drilling in Alaska and the Atlantic
The betrayal of Israel
Iran and the Iran Agreement
Net Neutrality
Department of Labor overtime rules
Orders to ICE to stand down
Dreamers
The borders
Common Core
Charter schools
The Department of Education’s Dear John Letter and Sexual Harassment Guidance
The shrinkage of America’s military
GITMO
NLRB
Student loans
Race relations
Consumer Product Safety Council
Supreme Court and other judicial appointments
The mess known as the Mideast
EPA
The VA
The IRS
Cybersecurity
All while The Senate Minority leader, Senator Charles Schumer, threatens to slow walk President Trump’s nominees, partially to delay implementation of the Trump Agenda
The Democrats and media claim that it is impossible to repeal, and thus unravel, ObamaCare with all its tentacles in the health industry. Remember Alexander the Great in cutting the Gordian Knot. Also remember ObamaCare is collapsing of its own weight – do not expect the Republicans to bail it out. The individual and employer mandates will be history. The tax increases will be rescinded.
Quite an Obama legacy!
What have I left out?
President Trump will get it done. He’s appointed conservatives with strong views.
Just not in I day, or even 100 days
